MEN WHO LOVE DRESS.
HOW THE PASSION GROWS UPON
IFS VICTIM INSRNSIBLY.

Some Notable Examples in New York
Robert Garrett, Berry Wall and Rob-
ert Hilliard-Frank Lords Perpetual
Frock Coat - Judge Fitch's Full
Dress.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The interest which
men take in their attire is more rapid and
Intense than they are usually willing to ad-
chit Whilo there are no such possibilities
for varieties, picturesqueness and general
.ntricacy in the clothes of men as there are
m the complicated attire of women, the art
Sf the tailor has developed sufficiently with
in the past few years to give man who
makes dress his study plenty of material to
ponder over The number of men who
make their clothes the most absorbing OBJ
feet of their existence in New York is by
40 means small, and some of the wardrobes
which club and society men sport would
astound primeval citizen who considered
a frock coat, dress suit and some rough
tweed clothes for business about all that a
0an could desire. When the statement was
published that Robert Garrett had ninety
pairs of trousers in his wardrobe, it was re-
ceived with evidences of disbelief in some
quarters, and yet there are numbers of men
I'm New Y DIRK who count their trousers by
The score, and who are not particularly fop-
pish at that. The passion for wearing clothes
grows on man insidiously. A friend of
mine, who is rather violently disturbed over
the matter of his personal appearance, in
discussing the matter the other day, placidly
remarked:

a BELLE OF BAD METAL.

Vain, Selfish, Heartless, She Goeth
Forth Conquering and to Conquer.
Here from Harper'S Bazaar is descrip-
ton, written with scalpel's point, of
somewhat cruel creature;
Men are not individuals to the belle. but
merely nunerals-number seventeen, or
whatever the case may be; as for their beat
ing hearts, their longing souls, she does
not trouble herself at all all that she wants
is the offer of their devotion-their scalps
to hang at her belt, so to speak, that all the
world may see and count. She is by no
means q sentimental girl, for she has no
emotions unless we call her desire and de-
termination for conquest an emotion
She does not think of others. There
are girls who love physical
over rough country, they will row against
the tide, they will shoot and play tennis in
the torrid zone, they will skate and tobog-
gan, they will walk before breakfast and
swim for the mere love of it, not to show a
pretty costume, neat and shapely foot, a
daring spirit of skill. But the belle, as a
usual thing, cares for none of these employ
ments unless they accentuate her charms,
unless they add to her laurels If shooting
and dancing and rowing parties were all
composed of the feminine element the belle
would care for none of them. She
cares nothing for walking without
an escort; even talking, that exer-
else in which she is supposed to excel,
bores her if there are no men to listen. She
has contempt for the feminine intellect;
but, surround her with admirers, and she is
in her element--she sparkles and flashes if
there is any brilliancy in her. There is
no trouble she is not willing to
take in order to win; she will
dance in midsummer, although she
hates it; she will yacht, even at the risk of
nausea she will picnic although she trem-
bles before spiders and snakes. She loves
the reputation of BELLE and if America does
not furnish her wide enough field, she goes
to Europe or upon the stage. If she is one
among large family, not content with pos
sessing the lions share of personal attrac-
ton, she receives and accepts without de-
muir the best of everything in the way Of
adornment. She is expected to make the
great match of the family but it is more
often the belle who becomes the old maid
than her sister, who is ready to love, and is
not always reaching after a match that shall
be brilliant in everything but love. The old
belle still believes in her power TO fascinate;
she cannot resign her kingdom gracefully
conquering hearts has become such a habit
with her that she cannot live without the
fond delusion that her charms are as fatal
as ever.

1t IS curious how men will run into one
fashion of apparel. Somebody told Frank
Lord twenty years ago that he looked vastly
attractive in a froclI coat. He has never
worn anything else since. But he is one of
the best dressed men in New York, for the
coat is moulded well to the figure and the
sombreneSs of the attire is hghtened by
white overgaiters and white waiStcoat
which shows above the lapels of the coat.
tie wears also bright scarf, light gloves
and big rose to help out the general effect.
Another victim to a fixed fashion of attire
Is Judge Fitch, of the St Nicholas Club.
lie wears evening dress morning. noon and
night. Winter and summer it is always the
same. He is always clad in a clawhammer
coat, low-cut waistcoat and light tie. Dur
ing very hot weather he is apt to wear
light straw hat, the effect of which with the
evening dress is decidedly odd
There was a good reason for the supremacy
OF Berry Wall among men of fashion, for,
despite the fun that is made of him, he is
PROFESSIONALLY a well-dressed man in the
fullest sense of the word 1t is very seldom
that he is betrayed into wearing loud or
galdy clothes, except at race meetings,
where it is generally considered that man
Is Justified in light checks and horsey clothes.
| saw Berry Wall one day at Sheepshead
Bay, clad In the coolest looking covering
Light material, in a small, black and white
check pattern. The coat was similar and
without lining or pockets. 1t was almost
as thin as writing paper. Mr. Wall wore a
SHIRT of heavy ribbed material, and the
cravat and Very low waistcoat were made
OF precisely the same stuff. Everything was
pure white, including the buttons and bind
ing on the waistcoat. The shoes were of
Unframed leather, very low and light, and
the hose black. Mr.. Wall wore light straw
hat, and was the picture of comfort and
GOODNESS amid a sweltering multitude He
wandered about with the careless air of a
man who is at ease, though there were oc-
casional sneers at the unusual nature of his
attire. | rather suspect that the majority
of the men present sincerely envied him.
But Mr.. Wall is not often led into extrava-
gances of this sort. He has great many
suits of clothes that are of irreproachably
correct pattern and form. And, by the
way, Berry Wall is by no means the dolt
that the papers are so fond of painting him.
He is simply an amiable and rather dissi-
pated man, with a fondness for clubs, racing
and the lighter amusements of the hour, but
he is not bad companion or by any means
an unDOpular man among men.

Mr.. Bob billiard, who has wrested the
title of king of the dudes from Wall, goes
in for elaboration in clothes He will spend
weeks in perfecting various harmonies in
his attire, and will then appear in what
might be called a symphony in one or more
cardinal colors. One day everything he
wears is either brown or assimilating closely
to that shade, and then, again, the color Of
his scarf, handkerchief, gloves, shirt, waist
coat, coat and CATERS will be gray, red or
any other shade that happens to strike his
fertile fancy. 1t is his originality in these
details that has made him king of the dudes
in the face of the less violently assertive
Berry Wall.
The world seems to run on about the same,
however, no matter how man dresses, but
it is worth observing that nobody ever
thinks of the attire of Jay Gould and of
the only millionaire who has ever shown a
violent leaning toward foppery has been
beaten out of his railroads and telegraph
enterprises and generally badgered about
until he has nothing left but his attire and
what was formerly colossal fortune

What has always struck me as being rather
curious is the unquestionable fact that in
nine cases out of ten the most extensively
dressed men are the least dressed. Take
Mr.. Garrett again, since he seems to be the
sensation of the day. / have seen him wear
twenty suits a week and yet never look par
ticularly snowy or striking. His tendencies
were toward sack suits, and he never felt
absolutely at ease unless he had one on. AS
he was pudgy and plump of figure and had
fat face, made fatter by Il pair OF size
whiskers, the sack suit only shortened his
stature and made him look less imposing
than any other possible style Of clothing. A
lot Of men amused themselves watching
Garrett and criticising his apparel about
two years ago at Delmonico's. He actually
wore five or six suit of clothes in the course
OF the day, and they ranged in material
from a dark gray to heavy brown and
reddish plaid. The coats were cut precisely
alike and they fitted the rotund millionaire
perfectly. But at no time did he look any
thing more than a well-to-do young grocer
or ruddy checked truckman dressed for a
Sunday outing CARROTS collars were
turned over, he wore sturdy English walk
ing boots and low crowned derby hat.
There was no doubt that he had fifty odd
sack suits.

ROBERT GARRETT AND HIS WARDROBE.

Prank r. Stockton once wrote a story
that a man who bought Queen Anne CRATE
was then Iured on from one purchase to
another under the spell of the decorative
craze until he was obliged to build a Queen
Anne cottage to match his belongings The
man who falls victim to clothes does it
good deal in the same way, and Stockton
ought to be able to write a corxing good
story about poor wretch who goes off in
sudden flight of vanity and extravaganza
and purchases a pair of overgaiters, from
which he is led on to be monumental and
0tupendous fop. 1t is when man commits
bis first indiscretion in the way of elegan-
cies of attire thsr his downfall begins. If
you are dressed in rough clothes and wear
heavy boots you will look well as long as
your attire is in harmony, but the very in
slant you buy pair of overgaiters you OBJ
serve that your trousers look bit frayed at
the bottom. You buy new ones. Then you
find that you want to have them ironed to
be in the style They are ironed. After this
the conviction is slowly but surely forced
upon you that the shoes are not quite up to
the standard of CATERS. You buy new
Shoes and patent leather ones, of course, as
there is no use going half way. By this
time there is no shadow of doubt that the
coat looks rusty and, after you have bought
new coat and vest, you find that fancy
walstcoat is almost as necessary as food
You buy the waistcoat. Then, after short
struggle, you are obliged to admit that
smooth-bosomed shirts are by no means in
harmony with the rest of your attire. Hence
pique and ribbed fronts, huge cuffs, tower
ing collars. After this expensive cravats
and, finally, if You are not very careful, q
fierce and ungovernable yearning for sim
gle glass. This is the place to draw the line,
though it is not always drawn by the we'll
dressed men of New York Then you want
a rose in your buttonhole and, finally, you
sally forth with the latest beaver hat and
the reddest of gloves and feel yourself com
pletely dressed. Then the trouble is that,
by the time all this is accomplished, you
suddenly discover that the overgaiterS look
a little bit frayed. Then the boots need re-
vanishing and there is wrinkle in the
back of the coat but, worst of all, the
trousers bag bit at the knees, and it is the
unwritten law of swelldom that by his
trousers shall ye know him. From that
time on about one-third of your life must
be given up to considerations of dress or
you will miss accomplishing what has be-
come cherished and overmastering ambi-
ton. My advice to mankind is beware of
the first step for fear you become fog"
